lightdm-webkit2-monoarch

Very minimal greeter theme for lightdm webkit2.

Heavily plagerised from inspired by lightdm-webkit2-theme-arch (aur / gitlab / github), which used wallpapers from reddit. The original seems to be this one according to this thread. It's essentially the same thing, but all html/css rather than images. It also uses JetBrains Mono because it is a superior typeface^{fight me}.

Example

Prerequisites

These should be installed and configured.

• lightdm
• lightdm-webkit2-greeter

Installation

Run the install script (requires sudo to copy files to /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes)

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timberhill/lightdm-webkit2-monoarch/main/install.sh | bash -

Alternatively, clone the repo and copy the files manually.

Customisation

There are no config files, but it's quite simple to make some changes.

Default username

If you want the theme to always use the same username, set defaultUser variable in main.js to the desired username.

Colours

The base colours are set in index.css, tweak them at your will:

:root {
  --background: #101010; /*kinda black*/
  --logo: #86BBD8;       /*light blue*/
  --input: #ededed;      /*white ish*/
  --headline: #ededed;   /*white ish*/
}

Headline text

The text is chosen randomly from the list at the top of main.js, feel free to add your own and/or raise a PR!

headlines = [
    "if it ain't broke, break it",
    ...
]
